When it comes to debating leftists as a former leftists I like to ask them if they would choose a crony neo-feudalist system or liberal democracy on the march to socialism and eventually communism. Marx would say liberal democracy is preferable.

As someone who selects my ideologies out of a hat I present more serious people with a false dichotomy and make assumptions about what a philosopher I’ve never read would pick.

Why did I go there? I knew it would only make me sad

as a former non-believer in Santa, I can tell you exactly how to nail the non-believers: ask them if they choose Santa going down a chimney or going through the front door but bypassing the alarm system is more believable. Watch them squirm trying to answer.

“former leftist” is a funny way to say “liberal who hates minorities more openly than they used to.”

If someone asked them to name an example of that they’d probably say Scandinavia

I think you might be right with this one tbh. “Former leftist” just reeks of fed energy.

Create post

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
